Providing an integrated engineering approach for electric vehicle batteries
By deploying Simcenter solutions in their battery and BEV engineering processes, OEMs and suppliers can profitably make the switch to an electrified fleet.
EVs offer many advantages over traditional ICE vehicles, including lower emissions, lower operating costs, and better performance. However, EVs also face several challenges, including the high cost of batteries and the limited range of EVs on a single charge. Battery and vehicle manufacturers must adopt an integrated engineering approach to battery design to overcome these challenges.
Simcenter solutions enable engineers to connect all battery and BEV development aspects.
Transforming the vehicle development process
Electric vehicle batteries are so different from internal combustion engines that they require a complete rethinking of the vehicle development process. The complexity of BEVs requires a highly collaborative approach, with engineers from different disciplines working together on comprehensive models from the beginning of the design cycle. To be successful, OEMs must move away from working in silos, increase the focus on simulation, rethink the role of physical testing, and intensify the collaboration between OEMs and suppliers.
Battery design within the wider vehicle engineering process
Electric vehicle batteries are a critical component of the vehicle engineering process. Their design must be carefully considered to ensure that they meet the vehicle's performance, safety, and durability requirements. Battery designers must work closely with other engineering disciplines, such as electromagnetics, NVH, and vehicle crash, to ensure that the battery is integrated seamlessly into the vehicle.
Simcenter testing solutions speed up development time of a new battery
Electric vehicle batteries are the heart of any EV, and their design is critical to the performance and range of the vehicle. Simcenter testing solutions can help OEMs and suppliers significantly speed up the development time of a new battery and its vehicle integration. Using Simcenter testing solutions, OEMs and suppliers can reduce the number of physical prototypes required and accelerate the development time of new electric vehicle batteries.
